ABSTRACTThe elastic constants of thin Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) films supply important information, but their measurement is difficult. Standard nanoindentation does not directly measure the elastic constants and has strong limitations particularly in the case of hard thin films on softer substrates, such as tetrahedral amorphous carbon on Si. Surface acoustic waves provide a better mean to investigate elastic properties. Surface Brillouin scattering (SBS) intrinsically probes acoustic waves of the wavelength which is appropriate to test the properties of films in the tens to hundreds of nanometers thickness range. SBS can be used to derive all the isotropic elastic constants of hard-on-soft and soft-on-hard amorphous carbon films of different kinds, with thickness down to less than 10 nm. The results help to resolve the previous uncertainties in mechanical data. The Young's modulus of tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) turns out to be lower than that of diamond, while the moduli of hydrogenated ta-C (ta-C:H) are considerably lower than those of ta-C because of the weakening effect of C-H bonding.

Stimulated Brillouin scattering of an electromagnetic wave is investigated analytically in a dissipative magnetized plasma in the presence of negative ions. With an increase in the number of negative ions (maintaining quasi-neutrality), it is found that the growth rate of ion-acoustic waves decreases very slowly up to 50% concentration (i.e. half of the total ionic contribution) of negative ions. Further increase in the number density of negative ions beyond 50% results in a sharp fall in growth rate.
